March 20 ... post dog attach

It has been two days since we reported a vicious 4 dog attach on us to the local "US Warden". Nothing has happened except once I made it known that I had photos of the offending dogs AND a shot of them forcing a women into the Atlantic to escape their jaws that she notified the "Tourist" bureau. Interesting chain of command. They have, of course, not contacted us. Between beach guard dogs at Man-o-War Cay, the security folks at Bakers Bay, the lack of public beach access at Treasure Cay, Little Harbour
and Great Guana Cay I'm beginning to think the Abacos is an area to avoid. When we finally leave this area I think I'll post another update giving the reality vs the Bahamas marketing hype. So far the Bahamas are "not better". The winds have been 20-30 knots from the NE. The situation has been described as "unusual" by local meteorologists ... they keep expecting the winds to lighten as in past years ... what if they don't? One of the consequences of global warming may be that historical weather
patterns fail to materialize ... if the Bahamas becomes a rain,wind and gale driven environment what will become of all the US development capital that has poured into the area. I'm not sure folks will be interested in spending a great deal of time in an area with high winds, cool temperatures rain and frequent hurricanes. I can't say I'm unhappy with the prospect since it very unsettling to see a country selling itself to self interest groups from the US. Money talks here. Bring lots if you plan
to come. Just hear a very interesting IDEAS program on CBC featuring David Suzuki and Stephen Lewis on climate change. I wish more people were interested in their and their kids future on this planet... brian
